SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters P'atent No. 758,847, dated May 3, 1904.

Application filed August 26, 1903.

T0 all w/'tom it may 007108772,.-

Be it known that I, Jos EF PEJCHAR, a citizen of Austria, residing at New York city, Bronx, county of Iestchestei State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvemcnts in Jewelry, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an article of jewelry in which the genu is mounted in the cavity of a flanged soft-metal plug, which is secured to the article of jewelry Without any solder.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure lis a face View of a button embodyingI my invention; F ig. 2, an enlarged cross-section through the same. Figs. 3, 4, and 5 are face views of modifications of the button.

The letter a represents the rigid body of a button, stud, breastpin, or other article of jewelry made of mother-of-pearl 01' other material. Into the body a I bore a number of holes, into which I fit tapering soft-metal plugs or settings b. Each plug is then fiattened at its rear or contracted end to form a lower fiange b', that extends over the back of body a, and in this way looks the plug' to the body. After the parts have been thus connected I form in the front or wider end of the plug' a socket for the reception of a gem 01' ornament c. This ornament is secured to its setting' by spreading the latter over the Serial No. 170,814. (No model.)

fitted within body a' is provided with a number of sockets to receive a corresponding number of gems c'.

In Fig. 4 a rigid central body c is arranged concentrically within a rigid annular body The bodies e a? are connected by the intermediate overlapping annular soft-metal setting, containing the gems 82.

In Fig. 5 the rigid body z' is surrounded by the overlapping soft-metal setting' j, containing the gems 03.

It will be seen that by my invention I secure the setting to the body of an article of jewelry without the use of soldcr. The invention is particularly adapted for jewelry having an aluminium setting, though it is of course applicable to soft-metal settings generally.

lVhat I claim is- '1. An article of jewelry composed of a rigid body, a soft-metal setting having a pair of flanges that engage opposite sidcs of the rigid body, and a gem mounted in the setting, substantially as specified.

2. In an article of jewelry, a perforated rigid body, combined with an inclosed soft-metal setting having a pair of fianges that engage opposite sides of the rigid body, and a gern mounted in the setting, substantially as specified.

Signed by me at New York city, (Manhattan,) New York, this th day of August, 1903.
